Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation pledges $5M to protect Amazon from ongoing wildfires
When we’re in a crisis as dire as the wildfires currently devastating the Amazon rainforest, you’d hope that everyone in a position of power would step in to do what they can. Sadly, that hasn’t quite been the case. Thankfully, Leonardo DiCaprio’s foundation just launched a fund to fight the Amazon wildfires, pledging $5 million toward efforts to protect the rainforest.
Earth Alliance was founded in July by DiCaprio, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Brian Sheth. The Oscar winner announced the creation of the Amazon Forest Fund on Instagram on August 25, outlining the fund’s purpose and how it fits in with Earth Alliance’s overall mission.
We’re hoping DiCaprio’s 34.3 million Instagram followers will take this as a cue to recognize the level of crisis we’re facing, and do everything in their power to help fight these wildfires. If you’re seeking a way to help the Amazon, we’ve compiled this list. The Amazon rainforest has now been burning at a record rate for three weeks; efforts to stop these fires need all the help they can get.Sign up for SheKnows' Newsletter.
